At Global Wholesale Tires, we move thousands of tires weekly, and one thing that can make or break a shipment? ?? Container Load Order.
Here’s why it matters and how it impacts your business. ??
1/ What is Container Load Order (CLO)?
It’s the strategic way we load tires into containers. Whether it’s by SKU, delivery route, warehouse layout, or customer priority, the right load order saves time, labor, and costs on the receiving end.
2/ Why Should You Care?
Poor CLO = chaos on arrival.
Imagine unloading 1,000 tires only to find your top-selling sizes at the very back. You’re burning time, increasing labor costs, and risking missed deliveries.
3/ What Impacts CLO Decisions?
? Tire mix (sizes, SKUs)
? Drop locations (single vs. multi-drop)
? Warehouse racking systems
? FIFO or LIFO inventory strategies
? Offloading capabilities (manual vs. forklift)
4/ Our Approach at Global Wholesale Tires
We collaborate with clients pre-shipment to:
Align on delivery flow
Prioritize fast movers
Group SKUs smartly
Minimize reshuffling on-site
Efficiency starts before the container hits the dock.
5/ CLO Isn’t One-Size-Fits-All
Each customer has unique needs. Some want exact SKU stacks. Others want route-based loading. We adapt CLO strategy per container to maximize your ops.
6/ Discussion Time:
?? How do you like your tires loaded?
?? What CLO strategies have worked (or failed) for you?
?? Are you seeing cost impacts from inefficient unloading?
Let’s learn from each other. Drop your thoughts below. ??
